JOLIET — This marks the first full week of business in Joliet for the new Carnitas Aguascalientes #2. The Chicago Ridge-based Mexican restaurant has expanded into Joliet, now giving it two locations. Although the new Joliet restaurant has a small seating area, most of the business is expected to come from takeout orders.
A copy of the entire menu, along with the prices, is posted at the very bottom of this Joliet Patch article.
Representatives of Carnitas told Joliet Patch they plan to keep their new restaurant open seven days a week. The daily hours of operation are still being finalized and were not posted at the business. Carnitas is at 410 South Chicago Street, which is directly across the street from the Milano's Bakery along the busy Route 53 corridor.
